More about IBOA
Find out more about IBOA and who we are.
Welcome to the Independent Business Owners Association (I.B.O.A.), South Africa’s premier community for solo entrepreneurs and small‐business founders. From our inaugural campus in Johannesburg to future hubs across every province, we exist to empower you with the connections, knowledge, and resources you need to thrive.
I.B.O.A. empowers South Africa’s independent business owners through structured networking events, expert-led masterclasses, and a collaborative digital platform. We deliver peer accountability groups, curated resources, and data-driven insights that equip members with actionable strategies to scale their ventures.
Our mission is to end entrepreneurial isolation by fostering a culture of shared learning, mutual support, and continuous innovation.
We envision a national network of vibrant I.B.O.A. campuses and online communities where owners converge to share knowledge, forge partnerships, and drive regional economic growth. By championing inclusivity, sustainability, and mentorship, we redefine success as a collective achievement rather than an individual pursuit.
Our vision is a thriving South African entrepreneurial ecosystem powered by collaboration and shared prosperity.
I.B.O.A. is a collective of forward-thinking entrepreneurs who believe in building together, NOT alone. We are young business minds united by a shared drive to exchange ideas, pool resources, and uplift one another through collaborative events and ongoing peer support. United by curiosity and ambition, we trade isolation for community, transforming individual success into shared momentum.
